General Life advice. Never listen to someone named Lex. Same thing goes for anybody named Adolf.

How is this worse or different than all the latest Instagram posts you retards link, or Facebook, or TikTok, and then listening to your whiney asses complain about ALL of these companies after you click the link 50 times?  You dolts.

 

I mean Art Bell did this sort of stuff.  But the guy was interesting.  He served overseas, lived in Japan after his military days, ran a pirate radio station, HAM radio operator,  just started doing talk in the middle of night, uprooted himself and moved from the US to the Phillipines because why not.  Came back. Married multiple times.  Started his own show, sold it, started another one.  Outside of his professional career he was actively doing things and he would talk about it and mix it in to his show.

People want to know that you are more than your job. The guy is a professor and does a podcast.  OK.  But WHO IS THIS GUY.

I deleted my post. 

Some here may find him interesting.  Maybe not you.  I used to love listening to Art Bell as well.  Dude was crazy as a coot and married a young ass pinay but so what?  He had a soothing voice late at night.  Another one I used to love that my dad turned me on to was Bruce Williams.  

Anyway, this guy is different, and from my layman's brain, he seems to be asking some pretty intellectual questions based on the reactions and responses of his guests.  Some of which are some really smart people.  Way smarter than me.  I was just trying to throw the link out there in case anyone else may be interested.

And, I do not know WHO he is.  He is young.  Younger than me.  I have never researched him.  He has had Elon Musk on multiple times.  He is not some schmuck or some money grubber like Joe Rogan.  IMO at least.

There's some (slight) intersection between my job and this guy, and I'd never heard of him before, as of a couple weeks ago. But those I work with seemed to know who he was and now I'm seeing him brought up everywhere.

Name exposure wise, this guy has gone from 0-60 in a second in my life. Weirds me out sort of. How did I miss him before :unsure: Has his visibility been meteoric?

This is a relatively old post and I was just discovering him around that time.  

He definitely sees things a different way and I appreciate that, plus he has a dry sarcastic sense of humor which I like.

Ah. It's good to see he was gaining traction in (at least) late 2020.

Dude's a smart man.  Especially when he is discussing artificial intelligence.

Not your best work.  I still chuckled.  I'm drunk though.  So, definitely not your best work.  If I'm repeating myself, it's because as I've said before, I'm drunk.
